One of the most convenient ways to correct your bite is with Invisalign in Windermere. Read on to learn how the process works and the best practices for caring for your aligners, so you can achieve the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Invisalign?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Invisalign process consists of a series of clear plastic trays that are custom-crafted by an official Invisalign lab. The process starts with your dentist capturing bite impressions that will be used to custom-design your aligners using the latest in digital imaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Based on your specific smile needs, the professional will develop a treatment plan, which will include the number of aligners you\u2019ll need and a timeline for how long the treatment process will be.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Invisalign Works<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While traditional braces require a visit every four weeks for an adjustment, Invisalign treatment takes a different approach. The aligners are worn in two-week increments, and after that period, they are exchanged for the next set in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To see the best results, though, the following guidelines should be adhered to:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The aligners should be worn between 20 and 22 hours each day.<\/li>\r\n<li>You\u2019ll need to visit your dentist every six weeks so your progress can be monitored.<\/li>\r\n<li>It\u2019s also important to remove your aligners before eating or consuming any beverage other than water.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Care for Invisalign Aligners<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Along with being aware of the guidelines of the Invisalign process, it\u2019s important to know how to care for your aligners. This will ensure they function properly so you can achieve your desired goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Your Aligners<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bacteria love to gather in tight, warm spaces. Thus, they will quickly collect inside the Invisalign aligners if not addressed. For that reason, every time you remove your aligners, it\u2019s important to clean them and your teeth thoroughly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This should include brushing and flossing at least two times a day to limit the growth of bacteria. In addition, you should rinse your aligners each time you remove them. You can soak them using Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner. Then, after a thorough rinse, you can reinsert them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe Storage<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Along with keeping your aligners clean, it\u2019s important to store them correctly. Thus, whenever you\u2019re transporting them, they should be kept in their designated container. It\u2019s also vital they remain in a climate-controlled environment to prevent any warping or cracking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By following these guidelines, your smile plan will stay on track, and you\u2019ll soon have a dazzling set of teeth for the world to see!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Matthew McKissock earned his dental degree from the University of Florida\u2019s College of Dentistry.
